Keeping the crowd still hyped up.
Having gathered enough energy, Lucifer flapped his dual wings and soared directly into the boundless sky.
Watching the breathtakingly beautiful angel vanish in the blink of an eye.
Coming to their senses, the people hurriedly uploaded the photos and videos they'd captured to the internet.
As for the consequences?
Lucifer hoped this information would ferment even more perfectly.
He didn't need to keep a low profile, and neither did the angel.
If anything, angels were meant to be even more high-profile.
The scene shifts back to Lucifer.
After flying for about 6 minutes.
Lucifer saw that he had already reached the Afghanistan region.
Meaning his speed had reached 10 Mach!
To put it in perspective, 10 Mach is 3.4 kilometers per second!
With his steel body, Lucifer felt absolutely no pressure from this speed.
It was almost effortless.
Upon arriving in the Afghanistan region.
Lucifer briefly activated his Insight Eye to scan the area.
[Insight Eye]
After collecting all the data, he deactivated the ability.
Then he flew toward the source of the information.
Activating abilities one after another.
In less than half an hour.
He reached the skies above a desert.
After one final use of the Insight Eye, he deactivated it again.
Lucifer flew directly toward a specific direction.
From the insights he'd gained earlier.
He had seen a Jeep convoy carrying the injured Tony toward their base just a few months ago.
And he now knew the exact location.
Though this journey had wasted quite a bit of time.
As long as he had enough energy in the future, he could fully upgrade the Insight Eye and maximize its power.
Even the entire Earth's information could be gathered in an instant.
Recalling when Kesha went to that Blue Star.
With a glance of her "cataract" eyes.
The entire Blue Star's information, spanning countless years, was seen clearly in mere seconds!
So this time, Lucifer's wasted effort was for two reasons:
1. To conserve energy for later use.
2. The Insight Eye hadn't yet been upgraded to its full potential.
As Lucifer flew toward his final destination.
The pilot of a reconnaissance fighter jet patrolling the area nearly choked.
He saw a sudden radar reflection point appear nearby.
He quickly sent a message to the combat command center in the US.
"Holy sht! Sir! I've detected a reflection point in the center of our search area! It's extremely close to us!"
Officer: ???
"How did it appear!? We didn't detect any trace!"
At that moment.
The pilot in the sky stared blankly at the jet's radar again.
After a moment.
"Sir... maybe it was too fast. It's already disappeared from my scan radius. I watched it fly away."
"Are you messing with me!? How large is our scan radius!? You say you watched it fly away!?"
"Yes, sir. It must've been several Mach..."
The officer fell silent again: ....
"Follow it and check the situation. I'll report this!"
This radar equipment measures in kilometers.
To appear and disappear in an instant—how fast must that be?
Anyway, this definitely escalated beyond even the pilot's officer's ability to handle.
And it would likely reach SHIELD soon.
Honestly, if Lucifer hadn't flown so close to the jet.
Given his size and speed, the radar probably wouldn't have detected him at all.
In the time it takes to take a sip of water.
Lucifer had already reached the skies above Tony's captivity.
In this valley.
Everything visible from the outside was covered with a layer of yellowish camouflage fabric.
This made it impossible for either radar or the naked eye to detect the location.
Unless observed up close.
After assessing the situation.
Looking down at the mercenaries transporting supplies and patrolling below.
Lucifer halted his wings and dropped down.
With a loud boom!
The startled mercenaries quickly looked toward the source of the sound.
Then they froze.
"An... angel!?"
After a moment, someone finally reacted in astonishment.
Gazing at Lucifer's pure white wings and appearance.
His fair skin, features as if carved by a master, handsome yet carrying a hint of gentleness! The aura he exuded was complex and captivating, a blend of various qualities.
Compared to the surroundings.
Everyone present felt the environment didn't match Lucifer at all.
Seeing the mercenaries still not attacking.
Lucifer's right hand lightly touched his forehead in exasperation.
I'm the intruder here. Can you at least shoot at me so I can retaliate?
The fighter jets are already on their way.
Though I could act directly without issue.
But if the video goes viral, wouldn't it be better if they attacked first?
Headlines like Fallen Angel Brutally Attacked by Evil Mercenaries!
Or Upholding Justice and Vanquishing Evil—blah blah blah would be even more impactful.
